As if Jon Lester’s no-hitter weren’t enough to make us do cartwheels in between the cubicles at work, today we came across a rumor concerning more Sox-inspired curse potential at the new Yankee Stadium.

If you’re an MLB fan who isn’t living in a foxhole on an island off the coast of a country in Southeast Asia, you might remember that last month a buried David Ortiz shirt was unearthed from the new Yankee Stadium.

Now rumors are swirling that the mason who bestowed a cement casing on the Red Sox jersey may have slipped in another bit of Sox memorabilia: A scorecard from the 2004 ALCS. And this guy ain’t a-sayin’ where in the new stadium it’s buried.

We heart the symbolism here! Not only does it represent the turning point for the Boston Red Sox—who game back from a 0-3 deficit against the New York Yankees and went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals—but it’s a nod to the hitter who set it all in motion.

Is this another “curse” or just another rumor about another curse? Well, we can’t be certain, but check out the May 20th standings in the AL East . . .

A Sox Curse on the Yankees, Part Two?

1. It would give Yanks fans a scapegoat if the team falters.

2. It would give Yanks fans something to brag about (as if they need help with that) should the team do well “despite the curse.”

3. Boston had to suffer with the Babe Ruth curse for 86 years. The Yanks had one for 8 months. Where’s the justice in that?

4. The concrete tomb housed a David Ortiz shirt. Big Papi is off to the worst season start of his career—a batting average of .070. Looks like the Yankees jumped the gun because right now Ortiz seems to be the one cursed. But hey, we’ll take it. Look for #34 to bust it open now that his shirt has been unearthed from enemy territory.
